2 questions: 1)  you hate your new body?  I can understand hating the impact of the WLS on your system, but isn't your body at least looking better on the outside? 2)  Would your complications have been different with a different form of WLS?

While I am sorry about the pain this may cause but I'd like to know more about what happened; without that information your plea does not provide enough info to help someone make a rational decision.

Here Here!  Although at 47 I am looking at the DS. if I was only 20 I'd definitely go for a restriction only procedure.  You can always convert that VSG to a DS in the future if you find you need more help.

Are you talking about lap band, or the band they put on your new stomach now during the RNY procedure? Marie

Hi Lily, what you are experiencing mentally is 100% normal.  Please know that in a few weeks you will be passed this stage and onto the joy of the weight loss.  I think it is important for you to #1 talk to a counselor who specializes in Bariatric surgery and also go to a local group with others who know how you feel.  I am sorry about your complications that sure is scary.  As far as your family being far away, consider yourself lucky (heeee).

Topic: RE: considering VSG
Hi, Thanks for the reply. i posted this question several months ago and have since had the sleeve done. i am sorry to hear your situation and I hope it improves. I wonder what size bougie was used? My Doc used a 34 and I have lost 130 pounds in 7 months but am currently in a stall as well. I am going to start using fitday and honestly put down exactly everything I swallow to see if I can beat the stall and lose the last 30  pounds to reach goal. Good Luck..............Marc

Sophie, you are not being a kind person at all and obviously have never lost anyone you care about. Please remember the addige of if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all and certainly don't purposely be mean to people. Karma is a ***** beware!
